Applied acoustics and lighting
Gianni Cesini

Seat Ingegneria
A.A. 2015/2016
Credits 6
Hours 48
Period II
Language ENG

Prerequisites
Basic knowledges of mathematical analysis and physics

Learning outcomes
The first aim of the course is to provide basic knowledge in the field of environmental, building and industrial acoustics and to introduce lighting thecniques for buildings and industry. In the field of applied acoustics advanced knowledge will be provided regarding sound absorprion and sound insulation, and in the field of lighting advanced knowledge will be provided regarding the design of indoor and outdoor lightning systems.
